Pad error responses #210

@GoogleCodeExporter

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
IE does not display the contents of an error response unless it is over a
certain size. Instead it displays its own custom page saying nothing
useful. It might be nice to pad error responses to the necessary size to
ensure the user's error response is actually visible.

I'm not sure where we could cleanly do this universally, but rather than do
it automatically at the response level we could perhaps add a method on
WAResponse that pads the content to a certain size with spaces. That method
could then be used by WAExceptionHandler and its subclasses to ensure that
those responses, at least are padded.

According to this page:

l

the required size is not very big so it works fine with anything with any
significant amount of content anyway.
